I hate that "OCD" has entered the general lexicon

Post Reply New Topic

I have OCD, but I can't say it really bothers me that much when people say it. It's dumb when people use it to describe something that is nothing like OCD. But OCD is really a spectrum, and I have found that many people that say "I'm OCD about..." really do have obsessive compulsive tendencies. Perhaps they don't have enough of a problem for it to be a "disorder", or perhaps they have a mild case and are undiagnosed. I actually feel that it gives me something in common with the person, and I like not feeling so different.
